Power-Up 6.5.0 Installed

[kt06siggm]

Since there isn't really a description on what changes in 6.5.0, can we speculate that this is an update to prepare for Bluecruise 1.2/3? One can hope

Nah, don't get too excited as far as that goes. A member over at F150forum found a TSB Ford filed with the NHTSA that says this is for:

Software Update SU6 P2 for 2021-2023 F-150 vehicles is now available. Quality Improvements include: -Robustness actions to improve steering column control module signal management to reduce battery drain contribution. - Improvement in automatic rain sensor function.

Improvement in Auto rain sensor function. This would definitely be an improvement because the auto rain sensor leaves a lot to be desired. It will be awhile for me as I am still on 6.2.0.

I don't know how it could improve. Works great for me.

I've noticed on a few occasions when driving into a increasingly intensifying rain storm, that the rain sensor doesn't react quickly enough to the heavier rain. I find myself quickly having to override the system and setting the wipers to full on the control. Maybe it adjusts the sensitivity?

I’ve noticed that as well and always have to adjust it when it starts to rain heavier. We are supposed to get rain this weekend so I’ll see if I can notice any difference.

I set mine to the higher speed and it only works as fast as it needs to be. I'm still getting used to it though so I might be hitting the knob without realizing it.

Please post your findings, if that's what the update does it would be a nice improvement. Lol, skier167, as my truck goes I probably won't see this until Christmas!

I usually turn off the auto wiper function in the winter months. I'm always afraid of them trying to turn on while frozen to the windshield on startup and bending or breaking the arms.

I didn't think about it. That morning startup swipe would be more than an annoyance.

Mine swipes when going under a bridge. Alway has.

I am still at 6.1.0. A rain sensing fix would be a great thing. I get an auto swipe most mornings (when in the garage) and it is hit or miss while raining.

Looks like I’m going 2 for 2 in updates this week. @Big Dog Daddy ?‍?

Lol Skier167. I finally got 6 3.0 tonight on my way home from work. You're truck seems to be Fords favorite child. ?

@rugedraw is Skiers OTA 23-PU018-DOR-UP2. something that's been seen before. I got a dor-up back in January, is this a new DDM/PDM module update?

I searched and found where @rugedraw posted on the lightning forum it was a DDM/PDM update.

Yes this is a new one. I did mine with FDRS on Thanksgiving. I figured it was a short matter of time it got here since the Lightnings reported it today.
